This is the 21st round of the Italian Seria A game where Sampdoria will be playing host to Udinese at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris stadium. This is 44th match between these two, and the last time both teams met was on 26-08-2018, in which the guest Udinese beat Sampdoria in a hard fought 1-0 win at the Dacia Arena. The host Sampdoria is playing impressively well this season compared to their previous season where they finished 10th in the league standings. On the other hand, the guest Udinese are not too tough when playing on the road.

SAMPDORIA

Sampdoria is currently sitting in the 8th position on the league standings after having managed to accumulate 30 points in their last 20 Seria A matches played since the start of the campaign. They have given themselves the 30 points after 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, and also the blucerchiati are only 2 points away from the group to attend the European Cup next season. Even though they couldn't win the last 2 games against Juventus and Fiorentina, they proved how brave and excellent they were. their performance this season is very good. In their last 5 matches, Marco Giampaolo and his team has won 2, drew 2 and lost only one match. So coming to this game, this will surely be a huge opportunity for Coach Marco Giampaolo and his players to bring 3 points, thereby chasing the teams above.

UDINESE

The guest Udinese is currently sitting in the 15th position on the league standings with 18 points. The Bianconeri Friuliani has a slow start to the season and also a deep spirit which makes them languish at the bottom of the rankings with endless pressure. But, thankfully everything has become much better in the past and the team has gradually escaped the relegation zone with a relatively safe distance. Even though they are gradually reviving in the past rounds, playing at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris stadium will not be an easy task for them, as they are yet to record a single win in their last five visits to the stadium. The last time they won at Luigi Stadium was on 2012-01-20, by 2 goals to nil. Sampdoria is not a team that is easily defeated at home, so it will be very difficult for Udinese to leave Luigi Ferraris with a point at least.

PRE-MATCH FACT

  • Sampdoria is undefeated in 14 of their last 15 home matches against Udinese in all competitions.
  • Udinese has failed to score in their last 3 away matches in Seria A.
  • Sampdoria has scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches in Seria A.
  • Udinese has won their last 6 away matches in Serie A.

PREDICTION

The guest, Udinese managed to beat Sampdoria 1-0 at home in the first round of the Seria A fixture but I don't expect them to offer anything in this return leg encounter. Sampdoria has been in decent form this season in which they find themselves in the 8th position on the league standings. They have lost just one of their last eight league matches. And with Udinese just four points above the drop zone and two wins from their last 15 league games (those wins have come at home mind you) I don't think that Udinese will be strong enough for a side boasting the League's joint leading goalscorer.
